Darryl L. Miles commented on MNG-5249: -------------------------------------- This convention is not documented (or useful for non SVN / Apache Foundation remote SCM system setups). I would expect this to be documented here https://maven.apache.org/pom.html#SCM It would be useful to remove the convention of appending the "/${parent.name}" value onto the end of the <project><scm> elements for URLs such as <connection> <developerConnection> and <url>. Instead have Maven configure a system variable like ${maven.scm.path} which would be "/parent-parent/parent" in the case where we have foobar:project inherit from foobar:parent inherit from foobar:parent-parent which has <scm> elements configured. This way when compatibility is broken in some future release those users wishing to keep the old behaviour only need to add ${maven.scm.path} to the end of their URLs (in their equivalent foobar:parent-parent pom.xml) > inherit scm in superPom > ----------------------- > > Key: MNG-5249 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5249 > Project: Maven 2 & 3 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Inheritance and Interpolation > Affects Versions: Issues to be reviewed for 3.x > Environment: maven 3.0.3 > Reporter: Jose Manuel Prieto > > It's similar to http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2006 but with GIT. > Show too: > http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/maven-users/201202.mbox/%3CCAAUMjNbO_o4WhwTvGoZueVLsaM5XULczdrp%3D9eioMV2YH9gk1A%40mail.gmail.com%3E > and reponses into maven user lists -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
